We are sincerely thankful to Linda for everything that she did for us. My husband and I highly recommend her as a realtor and her realty business to anyone looking to move into the Irish Hills area!

Please note that Doug has his own agency now, Beiswanger & Risner Real Estate…read more Six years ago we sold our Jackson house with Doug, looking to down size from a 6 person to a 2 person home. He helped us get it into selling shape through his renovation experience and contacts. It was a unique house, but he found another family that exactly needed what our home offered. We got a good price in a slow and down market. We are moving back into the Jackson area to be closer to family and immediately called Doug to represent us as buyers. Although we are several hours out of the area, he was able to work remotely with us and set up a multi-home tour on a weekend. One of those fit our immediate needs as well as our future plans. In a HOT market, he still managed to negotiate a better price for us. All in about six weeks from contact to closing! He also has the contracts to help get the new house configured for our move-in. A big THANK YOU to Doug and his team.

After two days of calling and emailing the listing agent who was told to expect the offer we were completely ignored. The offer was put in early on a Friday afternoon well before closing time, not to mention, NO realtor with any scruples refuses to return a phone call in regard to an offer no matter what day of the week it is. What realtor would ever let two days go by before responding to an offer? None with any integrity or feeling of responsibility toward their seller. The broker of ERA was notified of the situation and again, no response, no one cared that they were costing their seller a sale.

If you are looking for the best real estate agent in the area, look no further…read more Lucy and her team at Andersen Real Estate were so professional and so helpful throughout the house sale process from initial assessment of what needs to be done, making recommendation on how to stage the house for sale, recommending and arranging contractors to get the jobs done, showing of the house to all prospective buyers, and even to negotiating the final buyer selection and price negotiation, as we had multiple offers after just six days of listing the house! Although preparing the house for sale took a few months due to Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, we sold our house in just 40 days after listing the house for sale! (listed on 7/17/2020 and closing done on 8/27/2020) Without any hesitation, but rather with enthusiasm, I would recommend Lucy and her team to anyone selling or buying a house in the Washtenaw county and its surrounding area!

As they refer to the county as "Anyway Lenawee", the second slogan is "Baker Acres"…read more Unfortunately this company was built on building cheap quality and cookie cutout neighborhoods. With no other competition in town. However if you can stomach through the sales side of the business you will eventually meet the real brains of the operation (Matt Baker) which has got to be the most honest and respectful in the local industry. He regularly shows up on each job site and takes any unknown calls while between job site inspections. My mother purchased a condo in Rivers Edge, new build about 3 years ago which has been an undeveloped Baker community of 20 years. I can honestly say that the material product has improved to a double pane Anderson windows/doors from their standard single builder grade material. However, once the "one year" Baker warranty is over, well you're on your own. The cement driveway and patios cement has been crumbling since the first year of build in which a simple leaf blowers keeps flaking the poorly poured cement which is going to need to be replaced in the next two years. Also, no standard landscaping was provided and it's still debatable with the association and Baker as to who is responsible. The association is refusing to touch and add the Baker promised trees and surrounding landscape to conceal electrical boxes for which Baker Construction has blocked any responsibilities which contradicts the deed which was promised in the purchase agreement. Not to mention these horrible standard unknown cabinetry from Carter lumber which is advertised as custom Merillat/Masco cabinetry that is delaminating and mis coloring and broken drawers and door frames within 3 years after installation. Our sales slick was promised upgraded Merillat cabinetry which was is a lie because I once designed Merillat cabinets and know the warranty for these cabinets and nowhere is it stamped nor information from Merillat warranty provided. Lowe's can provide a higher grade cabinetry. Some other sales ads promise all stainless steel appliances for which we had to purchase on our own. So as far as getting any kind of warranty work performed, forget it after the first year with Baker Construction purchase agreement then you're on your own especially since the owners purchase name for any warranty is listed as the contractor and not the new home owner and it is hell to get your faulty warranty products taken care of. Unfortunately once you get past the shady sales portion you will then be working with the Older brother named Matt. Matt will answer all of his calls and personally takes time to connect with not only you as the new owner but also introduces himself the the neighboring members as well. He is very consistent and conscientious and respected across the board. The other processes are the worst and would never recommend this builder. The developer starts the process but does not purchase the entire development (lots and land) so it's all a "build as needed" which they have always practiced with every Development. The results always ends with non consistent developed or landscaped as a typical developer provides and offers. If you're able and willing to spend the extra money to be handled beyond the "one year warranty" then keep searching for a custom builder/contractor for a unique design and the personal attention to detail that warranties their craftsmanship. But to invest in a Baker development I have only one word of advise, Buyers be aware especially when it comes to contractual agreements!! No offense but Carter lumber was never meant to be a custom selection center and you're on your own for appliances. I would suggest for a prospective homeowner to not take the low ball "allowances" for cabinets, c-tops, appliances in which the developer receives major kickbacks and lumber discounts (line of credit for purchasing power) for which is bankrolled for continuing their building development. When you meet Matt for the "punch out" meaning ongoing unfinished issues before receiving the keys, rest assured that Matt not only accepts personal responsibility but coordinates with his crew as to the attention required to make your move in is as smooth as possible. Best of luck to you and your wife and children. You are not only forcing better quality built homes and a growing future, but you married to a smart business woman herself and have a beautiful successful hard working children.
